Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 728 Phoenix Clan Half-Saint!

"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix?!"

Sanqian Lianxin's expression changed drastically, and she almost immediately rejected her suggestion.

"To have me form a physical body from food would be to defile my bloodline; such a thing is absolutely impossible!"

As is well known, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan has been the mortal enemy of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix since ancient times. At its peak, it even regarded the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan as its food.

For this reason, in the eyes of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was never worthy of being compared with them!
Unfortunately, as time has passed, the Ancient Void Dragon, having experienced many changes, has now declined and has been forced to merge with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to become one of the three major races of magical beasts. Naturally, it can no longer feed on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

Even so, for the Three Thousand Lotus Hearts, Hun Ruoruo's suggestion was still a great insult.

Hun Ruoruo looked at her with some confusion: "Isn't the Heavenly Demon Phoenix an ancient and ferocious beast? If you won't even choose the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, could it be that you want the Nine Netherworld Python?"

Three Thousand Lotus Hearts retorted angrily, "You know perfectly well why you're asking this!"

"I don't want this, I don't want that." Hun Ruoruo sighed softly and spread her hands. "So, it seems like all you can do is slaughter your own kind?"

"."

Upon hearing this, the Three Thousand Lotus Hearts were immediately caught in a dilemma.

As the incarnation of the Dragon Seal of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, she naturally dreamed of possessing a true dragon body and becoming a pure-blooded giant dragon recognized by her clan.

However, she also knew that for an ultimate long-lived species like the Ancient Void Dragon, the ability to reproduce was undoubtedly terrifyingly difficult, and in the current situation of decline, killing one meant one less.

If she chooses to harm her own kind, not only will she find it hard to live with herself, but she will also face expulsion or even being hunted down by her tribe.
For the Three Thousand Lotus Hearts, who have always longed for the recognition of their community, this was undoubtedly an unpredictable consequence.

"You should have a way, right?"

After an unknown amount of time, the Three Thousand Lotus Hearts slowly raised their heads, their eyes showing a rare hint of submission.

"As my servant, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is indeed unworthy of your status." Hun Ruoruo's smile gradually turned cold. "But what if you were an ancient Heavenly Phoenix?"

".?!"

The three thousand lotus hearts suddenly looked up.

Ancient Sky Phoenix!

Although the name is similar to that of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth. It is a beast that can truly be on par with the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon of the Void!

"This"

"Although the Strange Fire and the Dragon Seal are incompatible, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix may be compatible with you."

Hun Ruoruo's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and words that could shock all beasts came out of her mouth with ease: "The product of the union of the ancient dragon and the heavenly phoenix, its name, I suppose, needs no further explanation."

In an instant, Sanqianlianxin swallowed hard. A name that had always been sealed in the core of her memory, and even once considered taboo by the powerful Taixu Ancient Dragon who created her, slowly surfaced in her heart.

"Dragon and Phoenix!"

Beast Realm, Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

The surging river of blood flowed, carrying with it a pale red mist that permeated the surroundings. The slightly fishy smell of the air faintly carried the ancient, savage aura.

Above the sky, a huge stone statue of a divine bird hung high. As the wind blew by, it emitted a fierce cry that sounded like a mournful wail, terrifying the soul.

This place is none other than the ancestral home of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Compared to its usual solemnity, the ancestral land was quite lively at this moment, with many men and women of extraordinary appearance standing there, seemingly demonic or evil, yet all exuding an indescribable nobility.

"How's the investigation into the ruins going?"

A gaunt old man spoke softly, and judging from the multicolored feathers on his head, he was clearly of extraordinary status.

Upon hearing this, someone below immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to Elder Huangxuan, after investigation, we are almost certain that the remains of our kind must be found in those ruins!"

"As expected." Huang Xuan stroked his beard, but his expression showed no surprise.

He turned to look at the colossal statue in the sky, as if sensing something. After a moment, he said, "For the ancestral statue to react so strongly, the remains hidden in the ruins must be extraordinary. The elders have already given a death order: when the ruins open, they must be retrieved."

As one of the three major families of magical beasts, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan obviously has extremely strict control over the power of bloodline. If any clansman's remains are found outside, they will definitely be retrieved with swift and decisive means.

This extremely domineering style has become a consensus on the continent, and people are terrified of it.

"Yes!"

Those below dared not be negligent and immediately clasped their hands in response.

Seeing this, Huang Xuan didn't say anything, but slowly turned around and looked at the proud girl in the center.

"Qing'er, among the younger generation of our clan, apart from the young clan leader, you have the strongest bloodline power. When you went to investigate before, did you have any insights into the fluctuations of the ruins?"

Upon hearing this, the proud young woman slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of eerie, colorful eyes, and said indifferently, "In my opinion, the remains in those ruins are definitely not as simple as ordinary Heavenly Demon Phoenixes."

"Because, apart from that noble bloodline similar to that of my clan, I also sensed a trace of 'stench'."

When she mentioned the 'stench,' Feng Qing'er clearly emphasized it, as if it contained a very subtle hatred.

"stench?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, and then their expressions changed drastically.

Within the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, there is only one kind of stench that can be described as foul!
That was... the Ancient Dragon of the Void!

Huang Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Qing'er, do you mean that the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon exists within those ruins?!"

"Back in Zhongzhou, I personally experienced the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon, there's no way I'm wrong!"

Recalling the aura she had once sensed, a hint of fear flashed in Feng Qing'er's eyes, which was immediately replaced by an even stronger resentment.

The Ancient Dragon of the Void has always been mysterious and elusive, and it almost never goes out except for the Dragon Island where it resides.

This is why, even among the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, very few have ever seen the body of a true dragon.

But Feng Qing'er was different.

That fear, rooted in her blood, and the humiliation that woman had brought her back then, were deeply ingrained in her bones, and she would probably never forget them for the rest of her life.

Feng Qing'er clearly held a high position in the clan. Upon hearing her words, Huang Xuan, who had been harboring doubts, immediately frowned, his expression shifting between light and dark.

"This matter is of great importance. Even if Qing'er vouches for it herself, I must still treat it with utmost caution."

Huang Xuan's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "I will consult with the clan elders before making a decision."

"No need."

Just as Huang Xuan was speaking, a voice as clear as the voice of heaven and earth suddenly rang out, and the originally sculpted phoenix stone statue shone brightly, as if it were infused with unimaginable vitality and spiritual energy.

"A Saint-level expert!"

Gazing at the absurd scene before them, which seemed like a dream, the crowd below was horrified and prostrated themselves on the ground almost without hesitation, as if facing a god.

"I've met my ancestor!"

Everyone, including Huang Xuan and Feng Qing'er, opened their mouths in worship, their expressions excited and fervent.

"Since the ancient ruins are located in the Beast Domain, it is not unreasonable for me to go there personally."

A holy voice slowly rose, like the majestic power of heaven, a single word enough to decide life and death.

"The artifacts from the ruins are ours to possess, and we, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, are determined to obtain them!"
